Department of Public Works and puildings.
Please have the City's seal affixed, and the
Mayor andCity Clerk each sign the contract. The certi-
fication on the bottom half of page two should be com-
pleted and also signed by the City Clerk. After these
signatures have been secured, return all four copies -
of the agreement to this office so proper State signa-
tures may be obtained. We will then return two copies
of the agreement to you and accept bills for payment
covering maintenance work.
Please feel free to call upon our Mr. Norman

City Streets
Mr. Carter Jenkins
1484 Miner St.
Des Plaines, Illinois
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of December 19,
1933, relative to a question regarding the installa-
tion of traffic lights on Miner Street from the Busse
to Graceland Avenue, I wish to advise that 1 believe
264
the installation of such lights would be approved
subject to the following provisions&
1. Providing all Bond Issue Routes within the muni
cipa.lity are in a satisfactory condition.
2. Providing all State Aid Routes within the muni-
cipality are in satisfactory condition.
3. Providing a system of arterial streets other
than State Bond Issue and State Aid Routes, approved
by this department are in a satisfactory condition.
4. Providing there are no necessary extensions
of the approved system of arterial streets out-
side of the corporate limits of the municipality.
In general it is the policy of this Depart-
ment that the portion of the Motor Fuel Tax fund
alloted to the municipality shall be expended,
giving consideration and priority to the construct-
ion and reconstruction of State Highways; the
contrution, reconstruction and mai!tenance of a
system of arterial streets and the construction,
reconstruction and maintenance of extensions of
such arterial streets outside the corporate limits
of the municipality.
I would suggest that before consideration
be given to the installation of traffic lights,
the Village officials should designate a system
of arterial streets, sovering a four or five year
program. A resolution should be passed by the
City Council designating this as the arterial
system, and this should be submitted with a map
showing this system, to this Department for
approval.
Yours very truly,
KE1TDRICI HARGER
District Engineer

that the Council will meet as a committee of the whole

at its own expense he will make a charge to the city
of approximately $250.00 for his services; If the
State will not pay for the construction of this pro-
posed sewer Mr. Jenkins will make no charge for his
